Special day... maintenance has grudgingly agreed to change my lightbulbs. About 2/3s of them have been burnt out since October but I can't do anything about it because I have 12' ceilings. Maintenance is apparently not permitted to do this, they say buy a ladder, but it'd have to be a full sized ladder for me to reach and where the eff am I going to store a full sized ladder in my one bedroom apartment just for changing lightbulbs????

No idea what other tenants do.

But they're changing mine today. They said to call before 7am so the landlord doesn't find out. I'm having the guy change all of them to those 10 year LED ones so that I never have this conflict again. Yeah, I just spent $35 on lightbulbs
